I want your rear bumper.

A lot

The grille is all messed up since I bought it. The PO rear ended someone going 10mph and it bent the part where the grille clips into the truck. It's not the ARB at all.

Nothing at all, it's not as heavy as you'd think.

Thanks RB and yes, yes it is (for now).

Yep, the stock skid plate is pretty crappy.... but it's SAVED MY ARSE and STUFF'S under there quite a few times! lol. I wanted the one that bolts to my push bar thingy... but Downey Sold out of them... so it's time to have one cut! lol. Then the stock skid will be BUBYE! lol.

Do you know anyone who makes skid plates for the 1st gen 4Runners? All I can find is skid plates for the 96 - 2011+

And about the rear bumper, who the heck makes one with a swing out tire carrier??

I wanna be able to say lol

I agree. I did some searching and this company used to be called Kinnessy Mountain (sp?) or something like that, anyway, i've read a lot of bad things about them...

The only bad thing I could find about Tactical Armor Group was the long wait time for a bumper. Hmm that sounds familiar... (3 months for my ARB...)

What do you guys think about a roof basket on top of my soft top? At first I thought it would look kinda dumb but then in the "Post Your Pics" thread I stumbled upon this pic, and it is not stupid in the least bit.

*LOVE the fiberglass high arched fenders too! Put that on the list! lol*

Opinions?

I haven't looked at them yet to be honest. I did a little searching on All Pro's site but couldn't find a roof rack...? Link?

Was looking at used sunco, Thule or Yakima. I like the load warrior because you can get an extension if you want. The others do not expand

Hmm... the Load Warrior looks pretty sweet. I need to do some more searching. Maybe i'll get one that's made for offroading.
